Floating Free

My H basically emerged from the womb wearing an Oregon Ducks
hat. He isn’t just a fan, he’s
obsessed. It was incredibly annoying
when I first met him, but he's just so darn charming that he won me over.

So last weekend was the PAC-12 Championship game starring
none other than his Duckies. He looked
online at tickets, and saw that tickets were unbelievably cheap because the
game was supposed to be a blowout. He
pleaded with me to find a way to go.

Lo and behold, it was the end of the month and we just
happened to have done very well on our budget and had some left over. Usually, when there is money left over in the
budget, we put it toward our loans. It
makes me feel better to pay extra, and I hate being in debt, so my goal is to
make it go away and never come back as soon as possible.

But. One of the great
things about being married is that I get to bring my hundun back to Earth every
once and a while, and he gets to remind me to cut myself free. So he convinced me. He had never been to a Ducks game, and I was
excited that I was able to go with him his first time. We ended up having a great time, even though
we wondered if we would ever feel our pinky toes again. (Translation: it was
cold. Very cold.)

So here’s some pictures of our spontaneous little roadtrip!

First sighting!

Practice facility, a.k.a. my personal warming station.

One of the things I really like about the Ducks is thatthey're not a traditional team, so I liked this!
